(Harry's POV – Location: Gringott's office)

"Let's go back to your house's political power since we are on the topic of Wizengamot," said Cyrus. "I see in these folders you gained quite a power boost from the Black family when your Godfather died; he not only gave you more wealth, houses and heirlooms, but its seats as well. Your votes may not decide whether a vote will pass or not but it sure will be a major factor," stated Cyrus clearly impressed.

"Which brings up an interesting topic, what political side will you take? House Slytherin and House Black have always been dark and very traditional," said Daphne, emphasizing the word dark, with her hands. "On the other hand, House Gryffindor was always light-gray and a house that respected history but was more than willing to embrace the future. While House Potter was clearly a light house. What side will you choose for your houses?" Daphne asked.

"I plan on making all my houses neutral or light neutral. I will make Slytherin and House black gray houses so many of the old houses and pureblood supremacist will still respect it. I will keep Gryffindor light gray and House Potter will also become light gray. I agree with the Light's plan for the future and believe that is the way the Wizarding World should and hopefully will turn. However, sometime the way the light accomplishes their means is not right and I don't agree with all their views are completely." I Spoke.

"Well, said," Diana responded. "You will be a great politician one day. However, what about your businesses?"

"I have combined friends and allies teaching and tips with my own personal flair. Everyone who tutored me thinks I'll be a pretty outspoken member of the Senate and I'll truly be a force for good when I finally hit the stage." I paused. "However, I have been so busy with politics that I haven't had much time to work with all the business I own. Many haven't been upgraded for at least hundred years, even the Potter businesses were last checked when my grandfather was alive. When I had some free time, I tried to take a crack at them and I couldn't do much."

"I can help you with that," said Daphne, suddenly taking a huge interest in the meeting. "I excel at business and help my father with his business all the time. I do everything from meeting with his partners to micromanaging his employee," said Daphne, rushing to give any reason to have a place by Harry's side and not in his shadow.

"I would definitely appreciate the help," I said honestly, though I suspected something was off, but at that moment, I let it slide. "Perhaps, I can manage the politics and you the business."

"You would let me manage Slytherin's, Gryffindor's, Black's, and Potter's businesses?" She asked stunned, her Parents looked even more stunned.

"I have to ask, why are you all looking so stunned? Did I say something wrong?" I asked, worried.

"No," said Cyrus "It just a normal pureblood Lord would never let his lady do remotely important and try to keep them in their shadow looking pretty, I always let Diana do whatever she wanted, she made her own choice, had her own friends but other lords aren't as
kind. Lords can do almost anything except kill their wife and it will seem normal."

"Oh, so they control their wives, and you all are shocked I was being so nice." I let out a quick chuckle. 'I was raised as a muggle and they are much fairer to the female sex than Wizarding Britain. Although, they aren't perfect however they are much better. I will treat you with respect and you're in charge of your own destiny. I will swear an oath of magic and blood to seal that promise if you want me too."

The family let out a sigh of relief hat they didn't know they were holding. Cyrus spoke up, "No, that won't be necessary since oaths are very tricky and even when you know what to say magic, itself can take it in a different way. However, I have been keeping an eye on you as
you have grown up and I know you are a man of your word, that I can see as clear as day. I would be a horrible business man if I couldn't detect a lie.

Diana spoke, "I believe we should move on to the actual marriage law now."

"Yes, dear," replied Cyrus. "Harry, I assumed that you have read over the contract and all of its factors."

"I have and from what I can tell the law is trying to make couples be as public as possible." Harry replied.

"So, we are a couple now, hmm, Harry?" Daphne deadpanned.

He smirked and kept his cool at the obvious tactic and responded, "Only if you want to be."

Daphne backed down as Diana laughed, "You'll be good for her; I can see that already you can match her icy attitude with a fire."

Cyrus looked at his wristwatch, "Good heavens! It almost 2:00pm and we have been drilling Harry for four hours. I think we should stop for today and finish up tomorrow at my house, if you don't mind Harry."

"If your worried about getting a room at Gringotts, you don't have to since I am friends with the Goblins and I can get a room at almost any time." I revealed.

Diana was shocked, "Your friends with the Goblin? You keep surprising us! We want to finish up in a more comfortable place and my mother-in-law is getting to that age, where the less she has to move, the better. We definitely want you to meet each other. "

"Okay," I replied. "Then let' adjourn for the day and meet tomorrow." As Harry started to stand up, Diana stopped him.

"Harry, we want you to take Daphne out and get to know her. We want to give you a chance to get to know her as tomorrow will be a repeat of today with my mother-in-law. She can also tell you how to get to Greengrass Manor for tomorrow's meeting." Diana said softly.

"What?" I asked, shocked. Daphne snapped her head to look at her mother.

"I'll be fine. We have had a lot of time to talk and we don't have to do it today." I spoke, "Besides, I have some work to do once I get home as well."

"Harry, when Diana has her mind set on something, it's best everyone else get on board or get out of the way. You two also need to discuss the law and your soon to be marriage life. I'll even pay for a late lunch at a fancy restaurant, go learn about each other." Cyrus said.

With no possible excuse, Harry complied to the older lady's wishes.

"Alright Daphne, let's go!" Harry said, smiling at Daphne.

I hope you noticed how the tone of this meeting slowly changed to a friendlier one over time. It was somewhat difficult to accomplish.
